Product Care Guide

K-Squared Cushions are luxurious, decorative cushions made from reclaimed Kimono and Obi fabrics, designed for use on beds, sofas, or chairs. They should not be used as floor cushions, outdoors or sat on. The are mainly made from silk, with hand painted designs, metallic threads or embroidery. The delicate nature of these fabrics mean
they require some special care:
- Handle with care ~ Avoid rough use. Not suitable for babies, pets, outdoor use or as floor cushions. (defiantly no pillow fights)
- Keep away from direct sunlight ~ To prevent fading and the degradation of the silk fibres.
- Keep dry ~ Dry clean only. Be careful of sweaty backs or spillages.
- Spot clean stains ~ Carefully dab stains (do not rub), or get professionally dry cleaned.
- Avoid sharp objects ~ Such as pets claws, that may snag or tear the fabric.
- Store properly ~ Keep in a cool, dry place.
- Keep Away From Fires ~ or other heat sources such as radiators, candles, incense sticks etc as the cushions or inserts may be flammable.
The cushion inserts are made from sustainable Kapok and Tencel. The same advice applies as above. They will stay full and plump if gently
fluffed after use, and stored properly.
